Calling

Calling those who cannot be

To you who want but are like me

Who have a heart yet have this wall

Seeing worlds but evading all

 

Calling those who have a smile

Would like to meet but run a mile

In a room will find the crook

Avoiding the most kindly look

 

Calling those who want to find

A means, a cure, to stop this bind

Then stop at each and every stage

Are too afraid to turn the page

 

Calling those who’ve reached the end

Be aware I comprehend

You’re not alone and not so strange

In post-corporal we will change

 

Calling those who care no more

We are together on this shore

Where we can speak and touch and gaze

No longer with anaesthetic haze
